History
The university's first separate library building opened in 1907 and was meant to emulate Thomas Jefferson's Monticello in Virginia. In 1937 funding was appropriated, enabling the school to make a number of additions. These changes were reflective of the general trend towards modernization in Greeley at the time. Carter Hall houses many administrative offices.
